Osome, a leading AI company management platform, is bolstering its support for AI startups selecting Singapore as their regional hub. With over 50,000 tech founders and solopreneurs globally relying on its services, Osome is responding to Singapore’s growing appeal as a base for AI companies. Notably, OpenAI has invested $234m in Singapore’s AI ecosystem, whilst Cognition, Anthropic, and Tencent are expanding their presence in the region.
Singapore’s Budget 2026 has introduced initiatives like the National AI Impact Programme and the Kampong AI hub at one-north, alongside a 400% tax deduction on qualifying AI investments. These incentives are accessible to foreign companies incorporating a Private Limited Company, allowing 100% foreign ownership and startup tax rates as low as 10%.
Osome facilitates the incorporation process, enabling founders to establish a company in as little as seven days. It also manages back-office operations, including accounting and compliance. Recently, Osome launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, transforming AI assistants into business command centres. This innovation allows founders to access company data securely through AI interfaces like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
Eugenio Ferrante, CEO of Osome, highlighted the efficiency gains, stating, “A three-person AI startup can operate globally from Singapore with a laptop. The biggest threat isn’t competition but administrative drag.” Osome’s platform has already benefited companies like UpNComers, Aesty, and Angelflow, significantly reducing their bookkeeping time.
Osome’s commitment to supporting AI startups in Singapore underscores the city-state’s strategic importance in the global AI landscape.
